Routine Eye Exams
Our office is equipped with the latest technology in diagnostic and examination equipment. This allows us to provide our patients with the most thorough, comprehensive eye examinations available.
Because Dr. Mallon And Dr. Schnell are trained as medical doctors they understand the link between the eye and the body. Many, if not all medical conditions and medications can effect the visual system. This added expertise allows for detection of problems that may otherwise go undiagnosed.
Contact Lenses
We offer the latest in disposable soft contact lenses, including correction for nearsightedness, farsightedness and astigmatism. In addition, we offer presbyopic vision correction with bifocal and monovision options for those patients who want an alternative to reading glasses. The newer soft toric contact lenses allow for correction of astigmatism in patients who were previously only correctable with hard lenses. Colored contact lenses are also available. Most presciptions can be filled by the next day.
Let the doctors at Center
For Advanced Eye Care guide you to the perfect fit.
Glaucoma Evaluation & Treatment
Glaucoma is one of the leading causes of blindness in the United States. The risk of glaucoma increases with age. Family history is also a strong risk factor. The most common type of glaucoma, chronic open-angle glaucoma, causes a slow, "silent" loss of vision. With routine eye exams, early signs of glaucoma can be detected and appropriate testing and treatment can be implemented. Treatment options include eye drops, laser surgery, or more complex surgical procedures. We offer the latest in diagnostic technology including the Humphrey Visual Field Analyzer and the Optical Coherence Tomographer.
Diabetic Eye Care
Diabetic retinopathy is the leading cause of blindness in Americans under the age of 55. Prevention or early detection and treatment are vital to preserving sight. All diabetics should have yearly dialated eye exams to detect any retinopathy. With the latest in high-resolution digital imaging, flourescein angiography, and laser technology, we provide state-of-the-art diagnostic and treatment options.
Macular Degeneration Evaluation
Macular degeneration is the leading cause of blindness in adults over the age of 55. Although there is no cure, early detection and treatment may slow progression. With the latest in high-resolution digital imaging, we are able to closely follow any progressive degeneration and recommend the latest in treatment options.
Dry Eyes
Dry eyes are an extremely common problem which effects all ages, becoming more prevalent with increasing age. Symptoms include tearing, redness, burning, stinging, a sandy sensation, and mucus. Beside aging, certain medications (antihistamines, oral contraceptives, antidepressants), climate (low humidity, wind, dust), injury, and various health problems (arthritis, Sjogren’s syndrome) may also contribute to dry eyes.
We offer the latest in diagnostic and treatment options for dry eye, including medications, punctal plugs and various surgical options.
Pediatric and Adolescent Eye Exams
The examination of children and young adults takes patience and special expertise. They often have special problems which present in unique ways. Our recommendation is that they undergo a complete eye exam during preschool, their elementary years, and once again during their teenage years. We take great pride in our handling of our young patients.
